A different type of student from any I've met - they're not like that
where I work. They're nearly all GAP wearing middle class kids with no
interest in, or knowledge about politics at all.

Our campus is full of bikes but I've only seen beaten up steel hardtail
MTBs and very old (probably their Dad's) Raleigh racers here.

If students are involved in critical mass that's great - isn't it still
good publicity even if they are doing it for not the 'right' reasons?
They may have chosen the day in the hope that it would encourage more
people to join in although it wont cause as much disruption.
